Standard (EADGBE)

Well it's the end of the working week and I'm rushing back home quick,

I'm starving, I'm fair clemmed tha knows, I could eat a butter brick

I need stodgy food without the fuss, then wife gives me a plate of cous cous

I said I'm sorry love but I want a chippy tea

Chippy tea, chippy tea, I want a chippy tea

But you keep giving me posh nosh, it don't agree with me

I don't want lobster thermadore or a raspberry coulie

I'm a working man from Lancashire, and I want a chippy tea

It's dark when I set out to work, it's dark when I come home

And all I want is simple food not Dim Sum from Ken Hom

Her inspiration's ready steady cook. Am I eating it? Am I f...!

It's Friday night and I want a chippy tea

Chippy tea, chippy tea, I want a chippy tea

But you keep giving me posh nosh, it don't agree with me

I don't want lobster thermadore or a raspberry coulie

It's Friday night, I'm within my rights, I want a chippy tea

[Instrumental just play the chorus]

Chippy tea, chippy tea, I want a chippy tea

But you keep giving me posh nosh, it don't agree with me

I don't want lobster thermadore or a raspberry coulie

I'm a working man from Lancashire and I want a chippy tea

 Wigan chippys they have baby's heads in St Helen's they serve splits

But tha's giving me nouvelle cuisine and all I want is chips

I don't care if it's one of Nigela's, I think that's a funny name for a fella

I'm not eating it I want a chippy tea

Chippy tea, chippy tea, I want a chippy tea

But you keep giving me posh nosh, it don't agree with me

You can keep your Jamie Oliver and your Gordon Ramsey

I'm a working man from Lancashire and I want a chippy tea
